Nick: is that the girl you spent almost every weekend with?

S: yeah, that’s her. We had a lot of wonderful times together. She is really a special friend, and I want to get her something meaningful.

N: I am not good at picking gifts. Maybe you can ask if there’s anything she needs to make it easier?

S: I don’t think so. That way it would lose all the charm. I want it to be a surprise. I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last.

N: yeah, that’s nice.

S: hmm, I think I’ve got an idea. Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home.

N: a plant? That’s creative. I’m sure ever time she waters it she’ll think of you. But there is a problem. Do you think it’ll be able to go through the customs?

S: I hope so. I’ll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase. I hope it won’t cause her trouble at the border.

N: I don’t know. I think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer. You don’t want to get her in trouble
